Sorry, I don't know how to get the video off that tweet and embed it here.

This goal by Robbie Keane has him trending worldwide on Twitter at the moment... what an absolute don he is.

What a first touch!

Quality but I was very disappointed to see a lack of arm waving going on

 

[IGSpur]

What a first touch!

Tells you all you need to know about some people's lack of football understanding. One person replied on that twitter link 'but it was a wide open net'

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Love you, Robbie. Cracking goal.

 

[branchie]

Yeah, he's still got it

 

[chrissivad]

amazing first touch

but what was the keeper thinking?

Sky sports reporting of the game focuses totally on Gerrard. Showed his saved attempt 3 times...
Didn't mention that gerrard didn't track his man for the oppo goal - and the Sky News journo's didnt even mention the goal.

But what a goal it was, the touch - on his left - was sublime.

God I miss Robbie, one of my favourites growing up. He was a fantastic player for us.

I saw that too, they were all so scared to criticise Gerrard. The guy clearly let the man run off him

They showed the highlights like he was having the game of his life. It was basically him completing 2 passes, conceding a throw-in, not tracking back, fluffing a couple of chances, getting tackled. Bring on the new season, SSN sucks at this time of year.

The amount of people saying it was "an open goal" really should find another sport to watch. Football is not for them.

We were lucky to see Keano replicate to some extent, goals like that throughout his Spurs career.

Must be such a thrill to score a goal like that for his boy hood club the LA Galaxy


In all seriousness that is a smashing goal, amazing first touch. Some people may not appreciate just what a difficult skill that was simply because of how easy he made it look

Great awareness of where the ball would be going to create the space beyond defender and keeper to give himself the easy finish

He was a gem of a player for us for many years, scored numerous top class goals. Was for a long time pretty much the only shining light in a drab team and then when we brought in better players like Defoe and Berbatov he rose to the challenge and excelled to prove he was still the man we should be playing

Anyone younger than me probably sees Keano as one of their favourite players of all time, Irish national team legend to boot and now he's added a lovely end of career stint at the LA Galaxy to what already was a fantastic career

Who will ever forget his celebrations after the 2008 Carling cup win?

I hope he continues to turn it on and outshine Gerrard in LA

I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved.
He was a wonderful player, in an team that was dire at times. Spurs fans really appreciated him, but i'm not sure the wider football audience did.
just look at his international record - comparable with some of the best players in the world - but never seems to be mentioned when talking about the great PL strikers.

Not many players get the credit unless they move on to one of the SKY 4 or whatever teams are the media darling clubs

I suppose Le Tissier did/does to an extent - although I'm sure working for SKY helps that

Do they not realise why the goal was open, sublime 1st touch took the defender and GK right out of the picture.

He has really done well since joining LA, fair play to him, still got it

 

[TheChosenOne]

StI have said it before but if we had taken a gamble on grabbing RK in the January 2012 transfer window for the remainder
of that season - he was available - we would have pipped Woolwich into 3rd place leaving them in 4th and they
would have had missed the CL as Chelsea's who finished in 6th behind Newcastle.

But history shows ..

 

[Dougal]

Scored another beaut tonight in his last International.

What a Legend. Shame he had to fuck us off for Liverpool as he would have been a proper club legend.
